Going to work and leaving your beloved pets home alone must be difficult for any pet owner.
Luckily, thanks to advances in technology, you can keep an eye on your furry kids and see what they’re up to while you’re away.
Especially if your four-legged children are known for causing a bit of a mess around the house.
Well, that’s exactly why Carly, a mom of three, decided to install an indoor camera in her living room.
She thought she would be able to watch over her pets and maybe catch them in the act; however, she failed hilariously.
Mercy caught in the act
Meet Mercy!
This is a one-year-old German Shepherd puppy who is experiencing something that in human toddlers is known as “terrible twos”.
If you didn’t know, puppies also go through a similar stage where they can be, well, a little difficult.
“She is going through a phase of terror” Carly told Ring LLC, a home security and smart home company owned by Amazon. “She ate every ornament she could reach on the tree and started attacking the frames! »
So, Carly and her husband decided to install a Ring Indoor Cam to keep an eye on Mercy.
They were hoping to catch her in the act and scold her for her destructive behavior. If you don’t know, the Ring camera also has a microphone, So Carly can talk to Mercy every time she catches her chewing something.
Well, everything was going perfectly until Mercy’s feline sisters decided to get involved.
A hilarious cover-up
When Carly saw Mercy chewing the picture frame, she quickly called her name and said: “Put that down!”
Mercy immediately stopped chewing and perked up her ears at the sound of her mother. She looked directly at the camera, but she was very confused since her mother was not in front of her.
But she didn’t drop the frame.
“Thanks, forget that!”, Carly continued to say.
That’s when the cats decided to appear. They weren’t going to let Mercy down.
First, you can see Carly’s white cat, who was also very confused, rushing to look at the camera.
Then, the other black and white cat, whose name is Ling Ling, appears. This is where it becomes hilarious and entertaining.
Ling Ling first started sniffing the camera very closely, then decided to cover it completely so her mother couldn’t see anything.
“It’s hard to stay mad at them when you see their reactions to my voice,” » said Carly.
She was able to quickly record the video to show her husband the evidence of Mercy and the cat’s shenanigans.
Here is the hilarious video:
People really loved it. One person commented:
“This whole video blessed me, lol!! Mercy didn’t move a piece an inch, other than tilting her head and wondering if it was worth chewing while getting scolded. The white cat arrived to find out what was happening. Ling Ling was going to get to the bottom of this. Mercy continues to internally debate about chewing in front of the owner (perhaps also contemplating the meaning of life), and allows Ling Ling to get to the bottom of things!
Considering this whole situation, it’s safe to say that cats and dogs get along well, contrary to popular belief.
